Music Review | Meri Pyaari Bindu | Sachin-Jigar

By -

After making the country move booties to their beats with A Flying Jatt, Sachin-Jigar return back with a movie about music. About an era where mixtapes were popular. An era where one could have conversations with just lyrics of the songs. Things to look forward to apart from the music - Ayushmann and Parineeti's singing.

Album Release Date: 19th April 2017

(Click on the song title to listen to it on Saavn)

Yeh Jawaani Teri
Singers: Nakash Aziz, Jonita Gandhi
Lyrics: Kausar Munir
The song starts off and you realize "Wait, is this the FRIENDS theme song? Is this song a hindi ripoff of it?" You continue to think about it and by that time the song has completely changed it's course. This song talks about all the masti we have done with our friends in school when puberty hit us. Though this song features two adults, the lyrics tell a different story.

Haareya
Singers: Arijit Singh
Lyrics: Priya Saraiya
Last year it was Channa Mereya, this year it's Haareya. Arijit Singh always tries different type of songs. This one I was able to predict what he would sing the next line. Specifically in the first antara  I knew he would go on a higher scale the second time he sings "Khuli aankhon se dekha woh, Haseen khwab hai tu.Dil mein jo utar jaaye woh, Pyaari baat hai tu". Why and how did that happen? Do you remember the songs Sadi Gali (Nautanki Saala) and Paani Da Rang (Vicky Donor)? This song is on the same lines with guitar strums and mid scale chorus. For this very reason I strongly feel this song belongs to Ayushmann Khurrana and he should have sung it instead. It is surprising that he didn't get any song to sing but Parineeti got.

Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahin
Singers: Parineeti Chopra
Lyrics: Kausar Munir
I like how this song complements the previous one. Haareya was Ayushman's version of expressing love, this one is Parineeti's version. Though, I must make it a point that these are two completely different songs. Parineeti perfectly hit the low notes with her soothing voice. However, she seemed to struggled a bit with the high notes. I wonder why those weren't corrected digitally.

Iss Tarah
Singers: Clinton Cerejo, Dominique Cerejo
Lyrics: Kausar Munir
See, this is what I expect when I see a Sachin-Jigar composition. Something different, something fresh, something unexpected. I feel so alive from within after listening to this song. The chemistry between the husband-wife duo showed in their singing. My favourite line from the song is "Mujhe tairna nahi aata, Tujhe doobna nahi aata". There are many such contrasting lines in the song that depict how differentiating personalities both the characters in the movie are and at the same time it also tells that they'll be there to help each other when necessary.

Khol De Baahein
Singers: Monali Thakur
Lyrics: Kausar Munir, Rana Mazumder
All the precious gems are saved towards the end of this album. I can just marry the chirpy, innocent voice of Monali Thakur. It's so sweet. The Bengali lyrics adds to the mithaas. Must listen song of the album, along with the other ones I'll recommend below. 😛

Did you also have high expectations from Sachin-Jigar albums or is it just me? I found this album underwhelming. It didn't feel like they owned this album. Now, this doesn't mean I did not like the album. The songs were really good. Additionally what I liked is that there are no song remakes in association to title of the movie Meri Pyaari Bindu. Something different from the junk we have to listen to these days. So, here are my favourites from the album:
Haareya
Iss Tarah
Khol De Baahein
That is all I have for this album now. I hope you found this review useful. If you did then feel free to share it. Let me know you favourite song of the album in the comments below. Until then, Ciao...!!

Music Mention | Wrong Side Raju (Gujarati) | Sachin-Jigar

By -
If you are a gujju  or understand gujarati language, you can also check out my video review for the music album of Wrong Side Raju here: If not, read on! The page is all yours. Welcome back to another Music Mention post. My last post in this series on  Sairat (Marathi)  was quite popular among my readers. This time around we'll be talking about a gujarati movie. I've picked this movie for a couple of reasons: 1. Sachin-Jigar composition 2. Arijit Singh 3. Produced by Abhishek Jain who has directed some of my favourite gujarati movies like  Kevi Rite Jaish (How Will I Go)  and  Bey Yaar (Yo Pal!) 4. Produced by Anurag Kashyap 5. I am a gujju :P Let me reiterate it again. This is a special case of my music reviews. It is more of a music mention than a review. I liked something and I want others to be aware of it too. (that sounds like the social media culture of this generation of kids :P) (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) Satrangi Re   (It'

Music Review | Dhanak | Tapas Relia

By -
I understand this is a late review from my side. In my defence, I heard one of the songs two days back and it compelled me to write this review. From what I saw in the trailers I am guessing there'll be a lot of folk music and lot of innocent lyrics since the movie is about two kids. Alright, without further ado, let's get started and see whether this album provides a "Rainbow (Dhanak)" of songs or are they monotonous.  Listen on Saavn Listen to Dhanak-2016 on Saavn Listen on YouTube Jeene Se Bhi Zyada Jeeyein Singer: Shivam Pathak First thing you'll notice is Shivam's voice in this song is similar to Sukhwinder Singh. It is not necessarily a bad thing. You are soon forgotten by that once you are brought to notice the fusion of folk rustic vocals along with fast-paced guitar strums. Chal Chalein Singers: Papon, Vibha Saraf, Shivam Pathak A failed attempt to try to many instruments in a single song. The percussion in the chorus cou

Music Review | TVF Humorously Yours (Web Series) | Vaibhav Bundhoo

By -
Last one and half years has seen a surge in web mini series. All of them targeting the ' t raditionally a verse t o t elevision' y outh ( t.a.t.t.y. ). So much has been the impact of these web series that even the mainstream players like YRF and MTV are creating content on YouTube. However, the most ingenious and the pioneer of web series have been The Viral Fever (TVF). They have really managed to match the wavelength of t.a.t.t.y. with all their web series. Apart from their amazing plot, TVF's content is also known for out-of-the-box soundtrack. I decided to start reviewing music for web series last week and was contemplating whether to start with my favorite one or the latest one (the struggle is real). To make my decision easy TVF launched the original soundtrack for their latest TVF Humoursly Yours .  I would've had done a Music Mention of my favourite music album among web series had TVF not released this one. But since it's officially released, this counts a

Music Review | A Flying Jatt | Sachin-Jigar

By -
I am not so much interested in the movie. The only reason I chose to listen to this album was Sachin-Jigar. I've been a big fan of their music. Do I have high expectations from this album? Well, it's conflicting - Tiger Shroff movie makes me question my expectation but I also know that Sachin-Jigar will not compromise.  So, without further ado, let's get into it and see if this album can set it's songs flying like the Jatt himself or falls flat on the ground Listen on Saavn: Listen to A-Flying-Jatt-2016 on Saavn (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) A Flying Jatt - Title Track Lyrics : Vayu & Raftaar Singers : Raftaar, Mansheel Gujral, Tanishkaa  I like this song. Period. Now let's get into one thing that bothered me. I understand this song is dedicated to the kids (even though lyrics have alcohol references), but a 8-year old girl (Tanishkaa) singing the following lines is just wrong - "Flying jatt mera BFF hai,  Aur iklot

Music Review | Raaz Reboot | Jeet Gannguli, Sangeet-Siddharth Haldipur

By -
If you enjoy watching YouTube videos more than reading a blog post, you can check out my video review for the music album of Raaz Reboot here: If not, read on! The page is all yours. It is an established fact that songs from Emraan Hashmi's movies are always a great treat to ears. Add to that three songs by Arijit Singh - DOUBLE BONUS! Raaz has been the most successful horror movie franchise in Indian cinema. If not for their story then definitely for their music. So, without further ado, let's get into it and see if this album can make me fall in love ghosts or scares the shit out of me. Listen on Saavn: Listen to Raaz-Reboot-2016 on Saavn (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) Lo Maan Liya Singers: Arijit Singh Lyrics: Kausar Munir The song is sung so soft and mellow that you don't even realize it is heartbreak song. Some portion of lyrics might sound a bit creepy - "Lo maan liya dekha hi nahi,  Tere kaandhe ka wo til". The only not
